The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0040] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a wafer 10 slicing mechanism, comprising: a placement component 1 , a suction component 2 , a first air blowing port 3 , a second air blowing port 4 , a moving component 5 and a first driving member 71 .
[0041] The placement assembly 1 includes two limiting shafts 11 for placing the wafer 10. The limiting shafts 11 extend along a first direction X, with the distance between the two limiting shafts 11 being less than the diameter of the wafer 10. The two limiting shafts 11 are spaced apart in a second direction Y. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z are mutually perpendicular. Specifically, the first direction X and the second direction Y are two directions perpendicular to each other in a horizontal plane.
[0042] The suction assembly 2 includes a plurality of suction nozzles. The suction planes of the plurality of suction nozzles are flush with each other. The suction plane has a suction position perpendicular to the first direction X and a placement position perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The first driving member 71 is connected to the suction assembly 2, and is used to drive the suction assembly 2 to rotate around a rotation axis extending in the second direction Y, so that the suction plane switches between the suction position and the placement position. The first blowing port 3 and the second blowing port 4 are both connected to the suction assembly 2. The first blowing port 3 and the second blowing port 4 are respectively located on both sides of the suction assembly 2 in the second direction Y. The first blowing port 3 is circular in shape, and the second blowing port 4 is oblong in shape. The moving assembly 5 is connected to the suction assembly 2, and is used to drive the suction assembly 2 to move in the first direction X and the vertical direction Z.
[0043] The wafer 10 slicing mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a placement component 1, a suction component 2, a first air blow port 3, a second air blow port 4, a moving component 5 and a first driving component 71. The wafer 10 is sucked by the suction component 2, and the first air blow port 3 and the second air blow port 4 are respectively located on both sides of the suction component 2 in the second direction Y, and the first air blow port 3 is circular and the second air blow port 4 is oblong. When the suction component 2 sucks the target wafer 10, the first air blow port 3 can first blow away the multiple wafers 10 adjacent to the target wafer 10, and then blow air to the gap between the target wafer 10 and its adjacent wafers 10 through the oblong second air blow port 4, so that the suction component 2 can easily take out the target wafer 10 under the drive of the moving component 5, and can achieve rapid wafer retrieval.
[0044] Furthermore, a first drive member 71 is connected to the suction assembly 2 and can drive the suction assembly 2 to rotate, switching the suction plane between the suction position and the placement position. When the suction plane is in the suction position, the suction assembly 2 faces the placement assembly 1, enabling rapid wafer retrieval. When the suction plane is in the placement position, the suction assembly 2 faces downward, allowing the wafer 10 to be stably placed on a horizontal surface for subsequent inspection. The vertical orientation of the wafer 10 reduces resistance during retrieval.
[0045] In one embodiment, the second blowing port 4 may include only one opening, which is longer in one direction and very short in another direction (perpendicular to the longer direction), thereby forming a prolate second blowing port 4.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the second air outlet 4 includes multiple sub-air outlets 41 arranged in a straight line, resulting in an oblate shape. Specifically, the sub-air outlets 41 are circular in shape, and their diameter is smaller than that of the first air outlet 3. The multiple sub-air outlets 41 arranged at intervals make the airflow from the second air outlet 4 more powerful, facilitating separation of adjacent wafers 10.
[0047] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, the first air outlet 3 is fixedly connected to the suction assembly 2 via a copper tube 31. The second air outlet 4 is connected to the suction assembly 2 via a flexible tube 42. The position and orientation of the second air outlet 4 are adjustable. During actual operation, the position and orientation of the second air outlet 4 can be adjusted as needed. The arrangement direction of the multiple sub-air outlets 41 intersects the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the moving assembly 5 includes a first slide rail 51 extending along a first direction X, a second slide rail 52 extending along a vertical direction Z, a first slider 53 slidably connected to the first slide rail 51, a second slider 54 slidably connected to the second slide rail 52, and a fixing frame 55 fixedly connected below the first slider 53. One end of the first air blowing port 3 and one end of the second air blowing port 4 are fixedly connected to an end of the first slider 53 along the first direction X that is close to the placement assembly 1. The fixed end of the first driving member 71 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 55, and the movable end of the first driving member 71 is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 55. The first slide rail 51 is fixedly connected to the second slider 54.
[0049] Specifically, the first slider 53 is connected to a second driving member 72, which can drive the first slider 53 to drive the fixing frame 55 to move along the first direction X, thereby achieving movement of the suction assembly 2 along the first direction X. The second slider 54 is connected to a third driving member 73, which can drive the second slider 54 to drive the suction assembly 2 to move along the vertical direction Z.
[0050] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the placement component 1 also includes: a fixed seat 13, a third slide rail 14 and two fixed plates 12. The two fixed plates 12 are perpendicular to the first direction X. The two ends of the limiting shaft 11 are respectively fixed to the inner sides of the two fixed plates 12. The fixed seat 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 12, and the two fixed plates 12 can be connected. The third slide rail 14 extends along the first direction X. The bottom of the fixed seat 13 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 14, so that the structure on the fixed seat 13 can move along the first direction X, which is convenient for loading and removing the wafer 10. During manual loading, the fixed seat 13 is located at the end of the third slide rail 14 away from the suction component 2; after manual loading is completed, the fixed seat 13 can be moved to the end of the third slide rail 14 close to the suction component 2, which is convenient for the suction component 2 to remove the material.
[0051] Specifically, the placement component 1 also includes a fourth slide rail 15 and a baffle 16. The fourth slide rail 15 extends along the first direction X. The fourth slide rail 15 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the fixed seat 13 and passes through the two fixed plates 12. The baffle 16 is slidably connected to the fourth slide rail 15. The baffle 16 is located between the two fixed plates 12 and is passed through the two limit shafts 11. The vertically stacked wafers 10 can be fixed by the baffle 16, a fixed plate 12 away from the suction component 2, and the two limit shafts 11 so that they will not fall over. When the suction component 2 moves to the vicinity of the wafer 10 to pick up the material, the baffle 16 moves a predetermined distance in the direction close to the suction component 2; when the suction component 2 takes out a wafer 10, the baffle 16 moves in the direction away from the suction component 2.
[0052] In this embodiment, there are multiple placement assemblies 1 (e.g., 3-5), spaced apart in the second direction Y. This allows for the placement of multiple wafers 10 during manual loading, reducing the frequency of manual loading. Accordingly, the moving assembly 5 includes a fifth rail 56 extending along the second direction Y and a third slider 57 slidably connected to the fifth rail 56. The second rail 52 is fixedly connected to the third slider 57. The third slider 57 is connected to a fourth drive member 74, which drives the third slider 57 to move the suction assembly 2 along the second direction Y, enabling material to be retrieved from different placement assemblies 1.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the suction assembly 2 includes three first suction nozzles 21 spaced apart in the circumferential direction and a second suction nozzle 22 located at the center of the three first suction nozzles 21. The suction area of the second suction nozzle 22 is larger than that of the first suction nozzle 21, so that the wafer 10 can be stably sucked.
[0054] Specifically, the wafer 10 separation mechanism further includes a conveyor belt 6 extending along a first direction X. Conveyor belt 6 is located on the side of the placement assembly 1 near the suction assembly 2 in the first direction X, with the suction assembly 2 positioned above the conveyor belt 6. After the suction assembly 2 separates a wafer 10 by suction, the first drive member 71 switches the suction assembly 2 to the placement position, allowing the suction assembly 2 to place the wafer 10 on the conveyor belt 6. A fifth drive member 75 is connected to the conveyor belt 6 for driving the conveyor belt 6 in the first direction X to transfer the wafer 10 to the next station.
[0055] In this embodiment, at the same time, only one of the first air blowing port 3 and the second air blowing port 4 is in operation. In a specific application scenario, when using the wafer 10 slicing mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application, the following steps are included:
[0056] 1. Load the wafers 10. Specifically, position the fixed seat 13 of the placement assembly 1 at the end of the third slide 14 away from the suction assembly 2, and position the baffle 16 close to the fixed plate 12 near the suction assembly 2. Vertically stack multiple wafers 10 between the fixed plate 12 away from the suction assembly 2 and the two limiting shafts 11. Then, move the baffle 16 along the fourth slide 15 to the surface of the wafers 10. The stacked wafers 10 are then secured by the baffle 16, the two limiting shafts 11, and the fixed plate 12 away from the suction assembly 2. Then, move the fixed seat 13 of the placement assembly 1 to the end of the third slide 14 near the suction assembly 2.
[0057] 2. The suction component 2 takes the material. Specifically, the suction component 2 is driven to move in the first direction X, the second direction Y and the vertical direction Z, so that the suction component 2 is facing the wafer 10. Then the second driving member 72 drives the suction component 2 to move along the first direction X, approaching and sticking to the wafer 10. At this time, the baffle 16 moves a predetermined distance in the direction close to the suction component 2, and the first air blowing port 3 is opened (the second air blowing port 4 is closed), blowing away the multiple wafers 10 adjacent to the target wafer 10. After the suction component 2 is in close contact with the wafer 10, the third driving member 73 drives the suction component 2 to move along the vertical direction Z. At this time, the first air blowing port 3 is closed, and the second air blowing port 4 is opened, blowing air into the gap between the target wafer 10 and its adjacent wafer 10, and the baffle 16 moves away from the suction component 2 to the wafer 10. When the wafer 10 sucked by the suction component 2 is completely separated from the adjacent wafer 10, the second air blowing port 4 is closed.
[0058] 3. The suction component 2 discharges the material. Specifically, the suction component 2 is driven to move in the first direction X, the second direction Y and the vertical direction Z, so that the suction component 2 is facing the conveyor belt 6. At the same time, the first driving member 71 can drive the suction component 2 to rotate to the placement position. Then the third driving member 73 drives the suction component 2 to move along the vertical direction Z, close to the conveyor belt 6, and then the wafer 10 on the suction component 2 is placed on the conveyor belt 6, and then steps 2 and 3 are repeated. The wafer 10 slicing mechanism of the present application can complete the collection and discharge of a wafer 10 in about 6 seconds, which is extremely efficient.
